Naira Marley, a popular Nigerian musician, has ignited a wave of outrage with his recent post on social media.

In the post, he stated, "As a marlian, what the world thinks of you is really none of your business." This declaration has led to widespread criticism and backlash from fans and followers.

The term "Marlian" refers to Naira Marley's fanbase, known for their unconventional lifestyle and rebellious attitude. However, the timing and context of his post have struck a nerve, prompting several users to voice their displeasure and disbelief.

Here are some of the notable reactions:

@starboy Gucci: "So you feel say some people still dey call themselves marlians for this Tinubu regime?"

@udoo_: "Marlian? 2024?"

@sir chucho: "Na only you dey do a Marlian now…your members don quit."

@officialnairam1: "Is anyone still a Marlian?"

@essienalbert: "Marlians not existing anymore, dude."

@highbee4life: "Marlians died the day Mohbad died."

The backlash reflects a broader discontent among fans who feel that the Marlian movement has lost its relevance and appeal. Many users referenced the current political climate and the tragic death of fellow musician Mohbad as turning points that diminished the significance of being a Marlian.

Naira Marley's post, intended to reinforce a carefree attitude, instead highlighted the growing disillusionment among his followers. The reactions suggest that the once-popular Marlian identity is now seen as outdated or irrelevant by many. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly public sentiment can shift, especially in the ever-changing landscape of social media and popular culture.
